Blood in semen

1-minute read

Finding blood in your semen can be alarming. However, in most cases blood in the semen (also called haematospermia) is not serious. It can affect men at any age after puberty but is most common in men aged 30 to 40 years and in men over 50 years with benign prostate enlargement. In most cases, it will pass within a few days without the need for treatment.
